“Overall a Good Hotel”
it's a very nice hotel, but we do think the rooms need to be reconditioned
“in comparison to other Shangrila hotels, the hotel rooms are old.”
I usually reside in Shangrila hotels. In comparison to other Shangrila hotels, the hotel rooms are old. The room did not have any fresh fruit, chocolate or even plain coffee and tee. The first room I got smelled from smoke.
“Gorgeous and Elegant”
Hotel is beautiful and very sophisticated. Excellent service and very friendly.
“The best hotel I've ever stayed in. Very nice indeed.”
I have stayed in many hotels, and I found the Shangri-la Beijing to be easily one of the best yet. The staff were excellent, the room clean and well furnished, and overall I had a very comfortable stay. However I did not use hotel facilities such as the restaurants or health center, so I can not comment on those. But what I did use I was extremely happy with, and would recommend this particular hotel and it's very good staff to any one planning to stay in Beijing. Most of the staff speak very good English, which is very useful to me, as I speak very little Chinese. I'm not that familiar with Beijing, but I did think the location was a little removed from major tourist attractions. However Beijing is a very large city, so it is easy to feel a distance from most places of interest. Overall, I personally rate the Shangri-la and the wonderfully well mannered staff as very good indeed, and I will certainly stay there on all of my visits to Beijing.
“Exceptional service.”
This is the second time I've stayed in a Shangri-La Hotel in China. The staff is friendly and helpful to those who do not speak Mandarin. This hotel is older than the one I stayed in previously. Some of the furniture/fixtures are somewhat aged but the room was always very clean. The service is what made my stay comfortable and pleasant.
